  • Matches my preference!

    10
    "Perfect"
    By DreadAngelus, May 31, 2012
    This is what I like from "Men of Action"! (the group who made Ben 10) They made a dark themed action-cartoon!

    Plot: An accident happened, an explosion. The explosion also released a massive amount of nanites, a small machines that causes a person to mutate. The mutation is random, if they activated inside the person's body. And then it came into the atmosphere making the whole world covered in it and thus, infecting everyone. Rex Salazar, a 15 year old boy that is infected with nanites, doesn't know his past. Agent Six, from an agency called Providence, found him in the middle of an EVO fight. (EVO, that's how they called the mutants.) When Agent Six saw his abilities, he saw hope! because Rex can absorb nanites, plus, he retains his intelligence. He can control his nanites. Now, he belongs to the Providence, an agency that deals with nanite-related incidents. He tries to find his past with Agent Six and Dr. Holiday's help.

    Characters: Each one has their back story, well dark stories, they have nice agendas and personalities. Unusual ones. Voice acting is excellent.

    Action-Value: The action value also depends from the season. Season 1 is dark, contained deaths and some sad events, it's balanced actually.
    Season 2 lost its darkness, the deaths are not that existent. More focused on the action
    Season 3, when the Black Night came, it became dark again. Such as in order to defeat the Consortium, a creation of the Black Night, he must lost his memory.

    Art: A little differences from their art in Ben 10, really good. Animation is just like before.

    Overall: 10. It's my preference for action-cartoons. Dark themed.moreless

  • Awesome Show!

    Generator Rex follows a boy named Rex who works for this agency called Providence who works to cure the world of these little machines called nanites which can turn people into these things called evo's. Rex can take control of Nanites and create different machines from his body and has the ability to cure evo's. The show is basically just a straight up beat em up show and doesnt skip a beat on the action, with all the crap that has been on CN for the last couple of years it is nice to see a decent cartoon finally.moreless

    My daughter is absolutely obsessed with Generator Rex. But I can't find any merchandise to buy for Christmas?? Where do I find some, or does it not exist? Help please!!
    We all love the show and watch it constantly. We would also like to know if it has been released on DVD yet, so we can watch the whole series again in sequence.
    CheersKelvyn

  • Finally, one of the better shows on Cartoon Network!

    Finally, Cartoon Network brings/brought us a show that doesn't suck! Generator Rex, a show created by Man of Action, known for their work on Ben 10. Okay, I'm gonna say that I don't love this show but it is an okay show and I respect your guys' opinions on this show. My friend likes this show so I respect her opinion.
    So, Generator Rex is about a 15 year old boy named Rex who is infected with these things called Nanites or something but he can control them and can turn his body into mechanical parts. He goes around, curing people who are infected by Nanites. Okay, I sort of find the plot a little boring. Rex just pretty much goes around curing people. Sort of reminds me of Tokyo Mew Mew where the Mew Mews must stop Chimera Anima, these animals that are posessed by these jellyfish-like creatures by the Aliens. I forget the name of them.
    All right, episodes. I've tried watching episodes but I don't really find the show interesting to be honest and IMO. I've only seen a few episodes. I did qute like the first episode, except they don't exactly tell us the whole story. It's just kind of there, you know.
    Characters. I certainly think Rex is better than grown up Ben. I like how he can turn his body into mechanical parts and can sort of joke around. Bobo is a pretty annoying character though. I'll have to say. why is he in this show? he barely does anything. He's probably just there for comedic affect.
    Animation and designs. They're fine, except sometimes they can get to the point where my eyes strain a bit. I don't like how some of the characters are drawn, you know, pointy/sharp shoulders or something. It looks weird.
    So, I guess this is the end of my review. If you like this show, it's fine with me. If you don't like this show, it's fine with me. Sorry if this is probably a short review; I can't really go into detail right now. I might review this show again in the future.moreless

    WOW! I am just obsessed with this show! I haven't seen a show this well written on Cartoon Network since The Real Adventures of Johnny Quest! ( early 90's). I remember when I saw the first trailer of the series. The show looked really promising just from the preview. And after watching the first five episodes, I became so obsessed with the show to the point I can't stop thinking about the next episodes. Cartoon Network has been putting out a lot of crappy shows lately. (Like Adult Swim, Chowder, Total Drama Action, Madd) I remember the days when the only show I could watch was Ben 10. But now, Cartoon Network is coming back strong. And Rex is definitely the start of the next Generation for Cartoon Network. I am hoping Rex will be made into a movie in the future. I think this show will go really far.moreless
